Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

She bit her lip, unable to think of a good description for a moment, and could only say: "That is my benefactor."

"If you are a benefactor, you should repay your kindness."

"Yes, that day will come." Mahiru smiled softly, the moonlight shining gently on her cheeks. "He also promised to let me help you escape from the clutches of the devil, so I came... Mitsuko, there is no such thing as fate. Fate is something that is used to be rewritten. Now I will share this power with you, so everyone will return home safely. Please believe me."

Mitsuko couldn't resist this gentle smile, she flicked it gently: "Since you said so, how else can I persuade you."

"Then listen to me." Amamiya Mahiru said with a smile.

Then she stood up, holding onto the railing, and opened her eyes. The moonlight illuminated her eyes. Even blind eyes could still accommodate a bright moon. At this time, she whispered, "Mizuko, what do you say... am I a considerate, beautiful, generous, and gentle girl?"

Chapter 130 My Stupid Sister

Minami Shiori struggled to open her eyes.

The surroundings were bloody.

She saw a figure standing in the depths of a pitch-black room filled with blood. The figure was wearing a moon-white kimono stained with blood. There were corpses lying on the ground, and these corpses were all people she was very familiar with.

They are her relatives, her elders, and her fellow apprentices.

She covered her mouth, almost unable to breathe, and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

The figure slowly turned around, revealing a face that was extremely familiar to her.

It was my sister. She was covered in blood, holding a knife in her hand, and smiling sweetly.

...You are here.

She smiled, raised the knife, and slashed at herself with a cold light, causing blood to splatter.

……

Minami Shizhi opened her eyes and broke out in a cold sweat.

A gust of cold wind blew on her face. She looked outside and saw a cold wind blowing from the pitch-black mountains. Her hair on her forehead was wet with cold sweat. After being blown by the wind, she suddenly woke up.

Just a nightmare.

However, she was terrified that this nightmare would become reality.

Three days ago, she broke through to the first level of the extraordinary realm in less than a week through hard training.

It's not that she didn't enter the stress period, but she had been suppressing herself all along. This time, due to family changes, she was also stimulated. After entering the stress period, she entered the extraordinary realm after several days of seclusion.

After that, he left Kyoto and chased after his sister.

When he heard the news about his sister here, he immediately followed her. His family was worried, so they sent two guards to follow him and act as drivers and bodyguards.

"We're almost there, Miss." Miyazawa, who was driving, said, "We're not far from Black Dharma Mountain."

"Heifa Mountain...I remember there's a temple nearby?"

"To answer Miss, it's not a temple... There's a demon market here, and the demon in charge is called Kawabozu."

"Demon?"

"The demon is also a kind of alien race. It has been here for sixty years. Although its sphere of influence is limited to this area, it is still quite influential. It is said that it has many connections in Nagoya."

"It's obviously a demon, yet it wasn't killed."

"The shogunate, Onmyoji, and Shinto Shrine are turning a blind eye to this. Perhaps after a while, he will be able to be canonized as an eight million god."

"It seems that there is such a saying." Minami Shizhi held her forehead and said, "So my sister is currently in this demon city?"

"It is speculated that this is the case."

"Then let's..."

After discussing together, Minami Shiori entered the demon market. After walking for a short distance, she saw that the surrounding area was decorated with lights and was quite lively.

I found a roadside shop and asked around. The middle-aged man cooking monjayaki casually replied, "Of course. The owner is getting married, so it's naturally lively."

"Getting married?" Minami Shiori asked, "Is this the Lord Kawaboru here? Getting married in his sixties..."

"No, no, no, He Fangzhu is almost over a hundred years old. This is his twentieth wedding."

"What?!" Minami Shizhi was shocked: "More than twenty times?"

Although Fusang also practices polygamy, marrying more than 20 times is still beyond her acceptance limit.

"The monastery owner is like this. Every once in a while, he kidnaps girls from the neighborhood to marry, dozens at a time." The boss said casually, "No girls from other places have dared to come here recently. Miss, it's a good thing you came late. Eh? Miss, your writing is burned. Don't you want it anymore?"

Although Minami Shiori paid the money, she didn't take anything. She turned around and left, heading straight to the hillside not far away. Big red lanterns were hung all the way to the mansion on the mountain.

"I have a bad feeling." Minami Shiori continued walking.

"Are you worried about your eldest... ahem, your sister getting married there?" Miyazawa hastily changed his words midway. He was used to calling her "young lady".

"How could my sister agree to marry a river lord like this? She was most likely forced into it!" Minami Shizhi strode forward: "I have to find him quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting "Fire" not far away.

On the mansion at the end of the big red lantern, a large red fire was burning. The flames shot up into the sky, and the dark mountains and forests were illuminated in bright red.

Miyazawa was surprised and said, "A fire on this day? I'm afraid the whole mountain will be on fire."

"Setting fire to the mountain will result in jail time..." Kumamoto on the side also shook his head and said.

Minami Shiori paused for a second, and the next moment she rushed up the mountain against the flow of the crowd. The two bodyguards looked at each other helplessly and had to follow her.

……

In the burning mansion.

Mahiru Amemiya held the Kaiyu Sword and stepped on Kawabozu's belly. The knife had already pierced its throat and blood was flowing along the blade.

Kawabozu was huge, like a giant catfish, but the knife pierced its throat and directly cut off its spine.

It was unable to move, and its lower body except for the neck was completely stiff.

This is a trick that all experienced fishermen know, and it is a way to kill fish alive.

She did not rush to pull out the Quick Rain Knife, but pulled it down with the knife, stepped on Kawabozu's belly and moved the knife at the same time, cutting a notch, cutting open Kawabozu's belly alive. Under the thick oily skin was an extremely huge stomach. After cutting it open, sticky liquid and blood gushed out. After the stomach was cut open, three living people rolled out.

All three brides fainted, but their lives were not in danger because they had not had time to digest the food.

The river monk's marriage is real, but his goal is not just to get married, but also to eat people.

So all the brides he had married before were raped and eaten alive... All in all, at least hundreds of people were eaten by it.

However, because it manages the demon market here, it is safe and sound, and is let off with a blind eye by others.

A few hundred people, is that a lot?

Actually, it’s not that many... Only a few hundred people were eaten over several decades, which is nothing compared to the people who died on the battlefield.

But hundreds of people also mean hundreds of families, and the death of each person means a tragedy for a family.

The weight of hundreds of lives is not heavy, but not light either.

There's no need to keep a man-eating monster alive.

Amemiya Mahiru raised the knife expressionlessly. He had already killed so many people, so he didn't mind killing one more monster.

He couldn't bear to hear the threats and pleas for mercy from the river monk at all, so he chopped it down with his knife. With a "whoosh" sound, it was like chopping off a fish's head.

Blood stained half of her arm.

"It smells like fish." Amamiya Mahiru shook her hands in disgust.

The other surviving girls either hugged each other and cried, or rushed forward to beat the body of Kawabozu, picking up everything at hand and starting to dismember the dead fish.

However, Amamiya Mahiru quickly and calmly stopped them. Noticing that flames had already started burning all around, she arranged for them to escape immediately.

He Fangzhu was dead, and the villains under his command soon fled in all directions.

Originally, Amamiya Mahiru planned to take the initiative to fight, but he found that his fighting spirit was in vain.

This group of rabble had no intention of picking up the butcher knife... In fact, even the river master was not a powerful character. He was just a man-eating fish monster.

A second-level monster is equivalent to a second-level ferocious beast. It is stronger than a human transcendent of the same level, but it is definitely not a match for a third-level transcendent... and can be easily dealt with.

Moreover, this Kawabozu had no idea at all before Amemiya Mahiru took action to kill it... He was ridiculously weak and far less difficult to deal with than Minami Shiteru.

Now Amamiya Mahiru is very skeptical, does this fish monster really have such flexible wrists?

Or is it just a standing target, a black glove?

The one who truly controls the Demon City is not this River Lord...all of this is a simple exchange of interests.

"When you think about it, this country is truly rotten to the core... It can't be saved by a knife or a stun gun."

After ending this passionless battle with her blood-curdling Quick Rain Sword, Amemiya Mahiru planned to retire as an assassin.

But just as she was about to leave, a sound came through the fire.

"elder sister!"

Minami Shiori stood outside the burning attic when a broken beam fell down, blocking her way. The two bodyguards hurriedly grabbed her left and right hands tightly.

"Shiori?"

Amemiya Mahiru turned sideways and used his divine eyes to confirm who it was, then whispered, "You actually chased after me."

I had heard this prophecy from Mr. Destiny before, and I was a little bit unconvinced that she could really come here. This child is as stubborn as ever.

Amemiya Mahiru was actually a little happy, but she concealed her smile and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "What are you doing here?"

"Sister, I'll take you back!"

"Go back? Go back where?" She shook her head and said, "That place is no longer my home. I have never had a home since the beginning."

"Sister, don't be so stubborn."

"I'm not the stubborn one, it's your grandfather. My father is the weak one. I've already said it, there's no way I can go back. Even the two bodyguards around you know this... There's no possibility of reconciliation between the Minami family and me." Amamiya Mahiru couldn't help but sigh softly: "You should grow up, Shiori, stop being like a child, thinking that you can get everything by just acting like a spoiled brat."

Nan Shizhi clenched her palms: "I'm not acting like a spoiled child anymore, I just..."

"Just what? You just think that you can calm all the hatred by persuading me? Or do you think that with your sweet talk you can make me go back with you and admit my mistakes to Minami Shiteru, and then agree to marry him into the Kazama family and become a victim of a marriage of convenience?" Amamiya Mahiru suppressed the mockery in her tone, but she couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic emotion: "That's enough, Shiori, the world will not change because of your wishful thinking. The Minami family and I are already enemies. You should face the reality! Don't make me repeat it again!"

Nan Shizhi gritted her teeth and said, "I don't agree... I don't agree to let you leave."

"You're like an unreasonable child, but now is not the time when anyone will forgive your willfulness."

"Whatever you say, I'm going to take you back!"

"It seems that all my words were wasted."

"Grandpa is no longer able to live! Father is also a coward!" Nan Shizhi said loudly: "Then I will become the head of the Nan family. I will take good care of you! I will not let anyone hurt you again!"

Amamiya Mahiru's expression relaxed a little, and her frozen tone thawed a little: "You..."

"So, come back with me, sister." Minami Shizhi said seriously: "I will protect you, this time, for sure!"

Amemiya Mahiru sighed softly: "..."

Minami Shiori's eyes were full of hope, but she was rejected again.

Mahiru shook her head again: "Go back, Shiori."

Minami Shizhi's eyes became even more puzzled and sad: "Why? Don't you believe me?"

"I want to believe that you can do it, but... in the future I envision, there is no place for the Nan family!"

Amamiya Mahiru's expression dispelled the confusion and nostalgia, and she became resolute and unshakable once again: "I already have more important goals to achieve... There is a figure I must chase. Even if I spend my entire life, I may not be able to reach it. How can I continue to stay where I am?"

The flames burned violently along the ground and ceiling. A large amount of broken wood fell down, raising smoke and sparks, and thick fog gradually filled the line of sight.

Amemiya Mahiru turned around in the flames, faced the moonlight, and slowly walked away.

"My sweet, silly, stubborn sister."

"Childhood is over, and we all have to grow up."

"Sister, go first."

Chapter 131 Off-campus practical classes

Half a month passed quickly.

If I were to say how I spent the past half month, it was actually relatively leisurely.

Bai Yu attended classes and practiced his exercises, and time passed by in a flash.
